When Shao Xun arrived at the bank of Yishui River, he saw so many warblers and swallows all over the ground that it was really dazzling.
Entertainment activities have sprouted since the Qin and Han dynasties, and developed into the Wei and Jin dynasties, and have become quite distinctive.
There are many activities, such as juju, cuju, pot throwing, chess and even a hundred games. In fact, it is just a matter of taking advantage of the warm spring weather and the beautiful scenery to have fun outdoors.
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, due to the great development of clan politics and the rise of the genteel style of scholar-bureaucrats, recreational activities began to be more literary and artistic, and more elegant.
Wrestling, archery, martial arts competitions, etc., are not "soft" or "elegant" at all, okay?
What we need is the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties that hits us, what we need is fresh literature and art, two people wrestling on the ground is really eye-catching, I don’t like it!
Men are like this, and women naturally don’t like such activities even more. So today, female relatives mostly drink tea, play chess, draw, write, and sing poems.
Don't think that their cultural level is low. In fact, the educational level of gentry women in the Wei and Jin Dynasties was higher than that of the Han Dynasty.
During the Later Han Dynasty, theological Confucianism was in a unified state, emphasizing the "destruction of human desires". The pattern of male superiority and female inferiority was very obvious, which greatly suppressed women's education. Even if there was any, most of what they learned was about etiquette.
In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, men were still superior to women, but women were no longer so "inferior", and the suppression of feudal ethics was partially lifted.
The rigidity and rigidity of Confucianism even developed in the direction of theology, political corruption and years of war, which greatly impacted the original value system. Scholars in the Wei and Jin Dynasties became increasingly suspicious of life, the old values ​​gradually collapsed, and the new ideological system had not yet been established, so that
In the society, chatting, dissoluteness and extravagance became the norm. Scholars advocated the pursuit of individuality, freedom, and exploration of self-worth and the meaning of life. In terms of education, the idea of ​​"escape from teaching and let nature take its course" was recognized by most scholars.
As a result, the results of women's education began to appear, and a large number of talented women who were proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as poetry, song and dance were mass-produced. They were no longer "paper figures" who only understood feudal ethics, but were more three-dimensional.
, more vivid.
It seems like a good thing, right? Inflatable dolls are really not very popular.
Shao Xun watched from a distance, Concubine Pei was surrounded by stars in the middle.
She is wearing a shāo suit with a miscellaneous train and a drooping concubine. The overall style is short at the top and wide at the bottom, and frugal at the top and full at the bottom.
The upper body is modified from the traditional Han Dynasty dark clothes. It is more slim, and the inside is bulging. There is plenty of food, which will definitely not hurt the children.
The waist is tightly tied with a silk belt. It is extremely slender. If you reach out and gently hug it, the feeling will definitely go up.
There is an apron outside the silk belt, which can be understood as an apron. The apron covers the entire waist and hips, and has layers of angular decoration on the lower edge, which is close to the skirt and hangs down to the skirt. It is
For "髾".
The breeze blows, and the concubine behind Concubine Pei dances gently in the wind, which is really beautiful.
Upon closer inspection, it turns out that her buttocks are really straight up, and her skirt and concubine are pushed up in a graceful arc, and they flutter when the wind blows.
Well, if it rains at this time and the skirt gets wet, the curves and curvature will be more obvious.
Thinking of this, Shao Xun suddenly felt guilty.
The princess was kind to him and was his noble person. It was really inappropriate to be so blasphemous in her heart. But after all, his body was that of a sixteen-year-old boy who was in the stage of vigorous energy. The attraction of a person like the princess was
fatal.
A young woman, flying in the clouds and mist, is not much better than those girls who haven't even grown up yet?
Difficult to stretch.
"It's you." On the green grass, two girls, one big and one small, were picking wild flowers. When they saw Shao Xun passing by, one of them immediately narrowed his eyes and laughed.
"I've met the two young ladies." Shao Xun saluted.
They were said to be two young girls, but one of them was actually a girl, the young lady I met at the Yu family last year.
The other one, who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, was slim and graceful, with a quiet temperament, giving people the feeling of an orchid in an empty valley. She only raised her head and glanced at Shao Xun, then turned away and looked at the flowers in her hand, wondering what she was thinking.
something.
In fact, it is normal for a woman from a scholarly family like her to be dismissive of the military men. The Yu family member is obviously still young and has not yet understood the true meaning of the "caste system", so she is too naive.
"This is the sister of General Liang's family." Yu Wenjun, like a cheerful skylark, carefully introduced the girl next to her: "I am from the Anding Liang family, and I am going to be the Princess of Yuzhang soon."
The Anding Liang clan is actually quite famous among the gentry.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the powerful minister Liang Ji was extremely powerful. He had three queens, six nobles, and two generals. He controlled the government for twenty years and established three emperors.
It has declined since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but so far, although it cannot be said to be a top-notch family, it is still hovering at the bottom of the first-class, which is actually good.
"General Liang" should be General Wei Liang Fen.
How do you describe this position? In theory, it is very high, but Liang Fen probably did not open a government, and his power in the court was limited. His best way out is actually to seek a local position, such as governor, governor, etc., but I don’t know that he has it.
I no longer have this perspective.
"Are you on patrol today?" Yu Wenjun asked.
"The world is in turmoil and the current situation is chaotic. We are about to conduct more inspections." Shao Xun replied.
"It's rare to have an opportunity to go out in spring, but I don't know when the next time will be." Yu Wenjun sighed like a little adult. The little crescent moon in the corner of his eyes disappeared, replaced by a hint of sadness.
"The war is not far away." Shao Xun also sighed and said, "I don't know if I can survive this year."
"Ah?" Yu Wenjun covered his mouth in surprise, with the delicate wild flowers sticking to his face, which was quite interesting like a human face with peach blossoms complementing each other.
Mrs. Liang also glanced at him, but did not speak.
"Luoyang is a popular place. I don't know why I like to stay here." Shao Xun looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance and said, "If you want to enjoy flowers every year, you might as well move to the south of the Yangtze River."
"Why?"
"We're going to fight," Shao Xun said, "Fighting back and forth, everyone will die. I'm afraid the Bingzhou Xiongnu will take advantage in the end."
Mrs. Liang frowned, seeming a little sad, but also didn't seem to like such discouraging words.
Yu Wenjun subconsciously asked: "Aren't you very powerful? No one in my family can fight as well as you."
Shao Xun laughed and said: "On the battle formation, when thousands of arrows are fired, what's the use of being brave? The most powerful skill in the world is 'gathering the crowd', which has the supreme power to overwhelm mountains and seas, and change the world. I--
If you go too far, you are just a pawn drifting along in troubled times. You can't even control your own destiny, let alone others."
His words made everyone present fall silent.
Yu Wenjun blinked, not knowing what to say. After a long time, he asked innocently: "Will you help me?"
Shao Xun laughed and said seriously: "Yes."
"That's good." The corners of Yu Wenjun's mouth turned up again, his big eyes were crooked, and he smiled happily.
Mrs. Liang glanced at her little sister angrily, not knowing what to say.
Today, the two of them were riding in the same car. On the road, they met a strange Taoist who said that both of them had "Fengqing" and that they would be extremely valuable in the future and might be destined to be queens.
Although she didn't believe it, the little sister of the Yu family chatted so happily with a military household, so it was obvious that she could not become a queen.
The military man in front of him could only marry a woman from a military household, and he was a completely different world from them.
Shao Xun's eyes were not bad, and when he saw that the proud daughter of the Liang family did not want to say anything, he bowed and left.
Yu Wenjun said goodbye regretfully.
She is only seven years old this year. Although she can write poetry at the age of six, she has met few people and has even fewer experiences. In her mind, this martial artist is probably the most outstanding and capable martial artist among the people she has ever seen.
Yes.
Her thoughts are different from others. Since the year before last, she has listened to the fierce arguments and repeated complaints of her father and brothers in ignorance. She vaguely knows that the world today is not good and they have to fight every day. And since there is a war, it is most intuitive
What matters is how good your martial arts are. To the seven-year-old her, this is simply a matter of course and a matter of course.
As for other things, I can’t think of them at the moment and I don’t want to think about them.
Compared with Yu Wenjun, Liang Lanbi, who is already sixteen or seventeen years old, is much more mature, and naturally her thinking is not as simple as that of a little girl.
She knows very well who holds the power and resources in this world.
If you want to live well in troubled times, have a higher status and make friends with more valuable people.
King Yuzhang might be a good destination - of course, she had no choice. This was something that had been decided a long time ago.
After Shao Xun left the two girls, Chen Yougen, who had been silent before, opened his mouth and said, "Does the governor like the noble ladies?"
"What do you want to say?" Shao Xun glanced at him.
"Your Majesty is so heroic, why do you have to be so humble?" Chen Yougen said disapprovingly: "If you really like the official lady, your Majesty might as well let me go for more than a month, and I will definitely carry one back."
Shao Xun was speechless.
Several other people also laughed.
Chen Yougen was confused. He was talking seriously, not joking.
In some places where chaos is high, such as Bingzhou, some women from aristocratic families have almost become prostitutes, and it is not uncommon for them to be robbed here and there.
"Go, go!" Shao Xun pushed him in disgust and said, "Go to the blacksmith shop and help me keep an eye on it to see if the epee is ready."
"No." Chen Yougen bowed casually and left.
Shao Xun stood on the river embankment and looked at the spring scenery in the distance.
Every once in a while, he would reflect on himself.
What have you done during this period? What have you gained? What are the difficulties? Are you far or near the final goal?
Overall, we are making steady progress, but there always seems to be a ceiling?
He thought of Liu Yu.
When he was thirty-seven years old, he encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: Wu Dou Mi Dao Sun En rebelled, eight counties in the southeast responded, and the situation was corrupt.
By the next year, the thirty-eight-year-old Liu Yu had distinguished himself due to his bravery and outstanding military exploits.
At the age of thirty-nine, he finally accumulated merit and became a prefect.
Haha, I am almost forty and I only have one county.
So, why did he fail to make his mark before the age of thirty-nine?
The ceiling is real.
Origin determines destiny, not ability. Sometimes it’s really fucked up.
Fortunately, this is the north, not the southern dynasties where order and stability were.
In the chaos, a lot of logic has been subverted, and the opportunities may be greater.
Of course, the order of this society has not completely collapsed. The descendants of the Sima family and even the barbarians will continue to work hard to completely tear up the black curtain hanging in the sky, break the shackles like iron barrels, and give the vast number of people with no background a chance.
.
It's really not good to feel like you can't control your destiny.
